OK... I was always wondering whether the 32Volt washing machine motors was induction or not but come to think of it some of todays washing machine motors are brushed motors. I've read that delco the generator company specially made appliances to work with the generator, here's a small town in...

... Sweet.. I've seen that delco was a manufacturer of 32Volt motors and I have a Delco motor from a vintage washing machine not sure if its 32Volts or 240Volts. I used tostay on a farm with a 32Volt system and the generator still in the generator room .I would like to have an induction...

Who of you guys owns 32Volt appliances?was the 32Volt motors used in washing machines induction motors?

Hi I've got an Electrolux absorption fridge, when switching it on it starts cooling well, but as soon as the coils are cold it starts heating up again, my guess is its the ammonia gas that leaked out, I've tried the trick of turning the fridge around and you can hear liquid inside, but then...

thanks miele... I've bought a spare part from lategan and van biljons that split the water from the pump to the jets but then you have to adjust the pressure switches so it let in more water than usual.and there's also no pressure in the upper rack.very very nice machine when it worked. I'm...

I'm also.. Thinking of taking it to a plastic welder as a last resort maybe if the put some more plastic on it will hold it but the attempts I've made with the soldering iron wasn't succesfull

thanks... I was thinking of recharging it with R134a.so I have to literally clean the whole compressor with a solvent?I can't just whipe off the old oil from the components?it needs 10oz of f12 charge. If I need less than that for r134a it won't be tooo expensive to recharge.I'm just worried...

thanks ... For your kind explanation!I think that tube between the racks could have worked more efficiently than that bowtie impellor thing?because the water has to go all the way through the plates in the lower racks to get to the upper rack.or am I just pessimistic about it?its very...

I've got this nice aeg 525 dishwasher free from a pawnshop spotless condition inside, but the pumps housing is cracked and nothing but nothing keep that crack closed, I've tryed superglue, pratle clear, pratley steel, pratley putty, silicone but its only working good for a while then it leaks...

I always wonder... The top loading dishwashers do they only have one spray arm at the bottom?if they do how on earth are they gona clean the upper racks glasses and cups etc?and the older types with that impellor thing that looks like a boat propellor is it only splashing the water up?no pump...

that's... A 1/8th hp compressor!!imagine the size of the 1hp and bigger?I also want to know the contacts on the inside its inside the oil isnt it like if its in water?making a short or something?

.... I still want to paint it but I have to clean the oil from that base first.and thers no valve to recharge it?if they are going to take that recharge things off its gonna blow all the new gas out?or if the vacuum it its gona suck all the air back in?maybe I just don't know quite well about...

epix... Unfortunately I didn't take photos with the compressor open but here's how the compressor looks like...and maybe if you can help me the gas on the rating plate was f12 what type of gas can I put in there?did this compressor maybe had a centrifugal switch that was stuck open?if I must...

epix... Do you want pics of the fridge compressor or do you want pics of the washing machine motor?I don't have a wiring diagram for either of them butthe compressor must be very old its a solid cast iron thing it weighs a lot!the top screws open and the bottom opens with bolts but you can't...

thanks dave... It was interesting indeed to know of all the ways a motor can be started.someone said about a centrifugal switch?I think it may be that switch because now that I think of it when it worked right and I stopped the motor it sounded almost like a relay kicking out?now there's no...
